Don’t miss this spacious apartment in a 16th century house with heated pool in the centre of Uzès. It has been completely and beautifully renovated. It is located a minute’s stroll from the famous Place aux Herbes on a protected street of the historic center of this charming town. The apartment is on the second floor (European) of the 17th century building and is air-conditioned for summer comfort. While the lower two floors are occupied by the owners of the building (who were once owners of a well-known Château Hotel), this apartment is an completely independent home. You will be Chez Vous.

The restoration has strived to maintain the character and proportions of the original historic home, while providing all modern conveniences, and a lot of charm. It is pleasing to the eye and soothing to the senses. The remarkable free-standing circular stone staircase remains a tribute to the engineering skills of the builders of centuries ago. The wooden ceiling beams and old stone floors have been maintained throughout and lend a special historical ambiance to the rooms. The spacious and gracious living room looks out over the fig and bamboo trees, and the new swimming pool of the small garden of the property and the rooftops of the town, while comfortable seating, elegant furnishings and the light and airy atmosphere make for a relaxing experience. A small corner desk is looking out over the garden is perfect for writing or working with a laptop via the WIFI. There is air-conditioning in the living room for the summer and heating for the winter, as well as the possibility of a warming wood-burning fireplace.

The Master bedroom has a comfortable queen-sized bed, fine linens, and antique furnishings, with double-glazed windows and exterior shutters to keep the room cool during the afternoon sun.

Up a ladder staircase is the second bedroom, a loft niche at mezzanine level, containing two beds, and likely to be greatly enjoyed by youngsters. Please note, that it is not a closed-in bedroom, and would not be suitable for adults. The kitchen is entirely new, has plenty of cupboard and drawer space, and contains an oven, stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, various small appliances and a table for dining. A bathroom with shower, and a separate toilet are within the apartment, while a washing machine is available in the attic one level up.

The Heated Pool and Garden are at your disposal and a swim and a glass of wine poolside is a perfect end to a perfect day.

Uzès is a small town with a large reputation. Its wonderful buildings and architecture, along with its thriving cultural activities, and renowned weekly markets (Wednesdays and Saturdays) have contributed to its fame. The Guardian newspaper in England designated it as the second best place to visit in 2014 (the first was Cape Town), a remarkable endorsement for such a small town. The town has attracted many artists and artisans, as well as up and coming chefs, as the numerous excellent restaurants attests. Numerous attractive villages are in the surroundings of Uzès, and walks or bike rides or drives through the many vineyards to these ancient villages are very appealing. The long history of the area is perhaps best exemplified by the nearby Pont du Gard, arguably the best-preserved Roman Aqueduct anywhere, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Further afield lie all of the glorious attractions of Provence and the Languedoc. The historic city of Nîmes, with its remarkable Roman Arena and the Maison Carrée Roman temple, and lovely fountain gardens, only 25 minutes away. Avignon the City of the Popes on the River Rhone is 40 minutes away. Within an hour’s drive lie ancient Arles, lovely St. Remy, dramatic Les Baux, the lovely , Camargue, thriving Montpellier, while a bit further offers Aix, Cassis, Marseille, and the Luberon. However, apart from the sites to visit, there is the incontestable leisure to be derived from wandering through Provence and its backwaters, enjoying the scenery, the history, the food and the wines – an unmatched experience.

“This is a wonderful apartment, outmatched only by the remarkable hospitality that Susan and Adrien offer. And all in the setting of a walled village surrounding the beautiful Place des Herbes in the remarkable region of the Pont du Gard and town+ Moreof Uzes! The apartment itself is delightful and remarkably well-equipped -- a lovely bedroom and airy loft, an inviting, high-ceilinged sitting room, and a modern and fully stocked kitchen. Susan has embedded subtle touches of hospitality throughout the apartment - from high end soaps in the bathroom to the chilled drinkings awaiting us on a hot day in the fridge. AND the backyard is just such a Provencal oasis --with a pristine and inviting pool and lush, well-tended greenery. All of this is embedded in the lovely town of Uzes, just steps from the Place des Herbes - home to one of the best markets and some of the finest restaurants in the South of France. This home is also perfect for all ages -- our children loved it as much as we did. If your goal is to find a place in the South of France where you can explore old France in the setting of a village -- near Roman ruins and centuries of culture -- this is the place. And Susan and Adrian's wonderful hospitality just makes it perfect.”

Amazing accommodation in the heart of Uzes
Susan was the ultimate host - providing us with detailed tips and advice both with her lovely apartment as well as with things to do in Uzes. She even booked a few restaurants for us, which was so helpful.+ MoreThe apartment’s amenities, quality finishes and soft furnishings made it feel like home -away from home - right down to the luxury soaps and essentials in the fridge. Thank you Susan

Response from Manager

Thank you so much for your kind words. They are so nice to hear. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Chez Vous à Uzès and that you love our beautiful town as much as we do! Please come back! Susan

Uzès My wife and I very much enjoyed our three week stay at Chez Vous in Uzès - a perfect location to immerse yourself in the food, wine, sights and culture of Provence. Susan and Adrian were gracious hosts and answered all our questions promptly,+ Morewith an attention to the details that was much appreciated. They also provided excellent advice and background information on the many sights and activities in and around Uzès, including dining recommendations. We had a rental car (driving in France is not bad, get one to see the countryside) and Susan and Adrian met us in front of the apartment to grab the luggage and then showed us how to get to the nearby parking garage. The garage is very close, has unlimited in and out, and is operated very professionally. The apartment has all the comforts of home and was spotless when we arrived. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked, and the living area was expansive with many nice furnishings. The apartment has a very cool stone spiral staircase leading to it and merges old with new in an elegant combination. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the size of the living area - the apartment really is a five star experience! After a day sightseeing, wine tasting, and eating, the apartment was a great place to relax and unwind in comfort. Importantly, all of central Uzès, the restaurants and cafes, the Saturday and Wednesday markets, shopping, and historic sites are literally across the street from the apartment. Uzès is a gem - ancient and charming, but also full of real citizens, not just tourists. We look forward to returning - both of us already miss the zen of Uzès and Provence.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Susan and Adrian and their beautiful apartment rental in the very cozy hideaway village of Uzes! Opening the windows of a sixteenth-century building above the little streets, with the cool evening breeze,+ Moreafter a great French meal, and then heading out to explore the market the next morning made for a relaxing getaway. And, the location is perfect for exploring Provence! The lavender fields, Mediterranean Sea, the Roman historical sites and medieval villages are charming and easy to navigate with a rental car. The high-speed TGV train service to Nimes makes Uzes easy-to-reach in only four hours travel from Paris. I would have never expected such quality eating, shopping and sight-seeing to be in such a perfect location (and a safe, small town feeling for our visiting nine-year-old daughter). The four days we spent in Uzes will be the highlight of our two-week trip to France.

The apartment is exactly as described, and only steps away from a town with lots to see and do, including an active cafe, market and street life. For day trips, you can reach almost anywhere in Provence and the Rhone wine region in about an hour.+ MoreThe hosts, Susan and Adrian, are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and happy to steer you in the right direction. We had a delightful 5-day stay, and left wishing we had stayed longer.

Perfect location for daytripping Provence. Chez Vous is a charming, spacious apartment, tastefully decorated and located in a very central location in Uzes. We really enjoyed being able to walk out the door and be immediately amongst shops, cafes+ Moreand restaurants. Likewise, it was easy to keep our rental car in parking station literally around the corner and drive out to all the wonderful villages, towns and sites Provence has to offer in abundance. Uzes is a lovely small town with plenty to see and do, and if you feel the need to relax then the beautiful Place aux Herbes is the spot. Our hosts, Susan and Adrian, were very welcoming and helpful with travel tips which we particularly appreciated. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable and easy.

A Perfect Retreat. Chez Vous is a perfectly located spot in Uzes. The flat is spacious and well equipped and so beautifully decorated. Susan and Adrian were delightful hosts. We are so glad that we paid attention to their recommendations for day+ Moretours in the area. We certainly maximised our brief stay. We will return for sure.

Susan's apartment is exactly as the photo's show - if not better! Beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean, quiet, air conditioned, great position, pool is the best!!! Two flights of circular steps up to apartment - so a good work out. Don't take a+ Morebig case as it would be a little difficult getting it up the stairs. Lovely historical, peaceful village & shopkeepers were all very friendly & helpful. Would definitely recommend Susan's apartment. Would love to come back & stay longer this time. Thank you Susan & Adrian & to Patrick & his partner who were so welcoming. Best wishes, Bernadette & Rose (siblings) - Australia

Amazing stay in Charming Uzes. My family of four spent six nights at Chez Vous and had a fantastic time. The apartment is as lovely as the pictures show, it is located just a short walk from the main plaza, and it offers all the comforts of home. I+ Moreenjoyed the beautiful décor, the comfortable bed and the daily ritual of making my coffee with a Nespresso machine. My husband and boys enjoyed the spacious living area when it was time to watch the Euro2016 futbol matches. The highlight of our stay at Chez Vous was getting to know our hosts, Susan and Adrian, who made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend Chez Vous if you are planning a trip to this beautiful area!

Perfect location in an historic building. We loved the location, staying in an historic home and a short stroll to the market place.. We did not use the garden as it is not really attached to the top floor apartment and access is from another+ Morestreet. The hosts left the home beautifully clean and wine for us.

French elegance & New World Amenities. We arrived by rental car from Avignon & the owners actually walked down the street & guided us for parking. Lovely spacious apartment furnished with antiques is in the heart of historic Uzès - no+ Morecar needed. Airy & quiet, it's on the third floor of an ancient, recently renovated townhouse. Solicitous owners, up-to-date kitchen & bathroom plus free WiFi all give new meaning to Chez Vous.
Biweekly open air markets on picturesque Place des Herbes are a 5-minute walk away. Our only caveat is that the spiral stone stairs would not suit the infirm.

South of France perfection. I want to spend every summer here! Perfect town in the south of France, beautifully decorated with the best hosts. Right in the center of town, but quiet and peaceful. Gorgeous views, close to restaurants, saturday+ Moremarket, and all the town has to offer. I can't wait to come back!

At home in Provence! Susan and Adrian Doull have a gem property in the heart of beautiful Uzès. The house is tucked away on a side street just steps from the picturesque Place des Lices square in the main center of town. Their charming 3 story+ Morehistoric building has all the qualities we were looking for in a 'town' property: great location, quiet and comfort! The guest apartment is located on the top floor and reached by a spectacular winding stone staircase. The living room with high ceilings and a mezzanine extra sleeping loft (great for kids!) overlooks their garden and a small pool. Unfortunately, it wasn't pool season yet but the pool would be a welcome relief for cooling off from the summer heat. The bedroom is well appointed and has a very comfortable queen-size bed. The eat-in kitchen is fully equipped. It was our second visit and we hope to return again soon.

Perfect property in Provence! Susan and Adrian are charming hosts to their beautiful apartment in the center of Uzès! We found our second visit even better than our previous stay because they have added a pool to their garden. and made it+ Moreaccessible for the Chez Vous guests. The apartment is just steps from the heart of town where there is a great local market 2X a week. It is beautifully decorated and feels homey and elegant at the same time. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is fully fitted out for the most discerning cook. Relaxing with a glass of wine in the living room overlooking the garden is a perfect way to end the day! We hope to return soon!

Stunning! This was the second time I have used Commendable Rentals. The apartment in Uzes is stunning, comfortable and most importantly a home. I can say enough about this company as they are at the ready for anything you may need to make your+ Moreexperience the best it can be.
As far as the town of Uzes - it is definitely worth the trip. A walking village where the locals are wonderfully welcoming, great restaurants and history abound. The town is conveniently located to many other villages in this part of France. It serves as a great home base. If however, you don't want to travel, it is a great place to relax and rejuvenate.

Live like a privileged local in elegant townhouse apartment - centrally located yet quiet. This airy apartment in a historic townhouse was recently renovated to an exceptionally high standard. We loved being only a block or so from the atmospheric+ MorePlace aux Herbes with its shops, cafés and biweekly market, and yet we could retire to the privacy and quiet of the spacious, antiques-filled living room and very comfortable double bedroom. The loft bedroom would be fun for children. All the mod cons are included in the smart bathroom with walk-in shower, double sinks and separate loo. The kitchen was equipped with all we could ask for. Although the apartment is steps from several excellent restaurants, it was fun cooking up a dish or two with the local Provençal produce we found at la marché. The large dining table is homey for the (very) occasional kitchen supper. The owners were most helpful in answering our requests for info and recommendations.

A Perfect Place to Stay. The flat is exquisitely furnished and immaculately clean. We continued to notice evidence of the owners' thoughtfulness and brilliant interior design renovations each day. We felt that it was a very good value. The property+ Morecould not be more centrally located, but is in a quiet, friendly, street. Susan and Adrian left a folder with all the information we would require, including restaurant recommendations. To their "out of town" list, we wish to add L'Artemise, a hilltop restaurant and approximately a 30 minute walk from the flat. Best seen in daylight, so luncheon is the time to go. The chef's 3, 4, and 5-course menus are inspired without being pretentiously and unnecessarily complicated. Susan and Adrian were always immediately reachable via email/text. They were extremely professional but also very friendly. We hope that we will return someday. Uzes is an interesting and beautifully preserved town and Chez Vous is a wonderful place to stay while there.

Outstanding village hideaway! Chez Vous is an idyllic property in the heart of beautiful Uzès! The apartment, situated on the top floor of a fabulously renovated historic building, is perfectly appointed for a short or long term stay. The 3 story+ Morebuilding is steps from cafés, restaurants, shops and the outdoor markets yet a peaceful oasis away from the busy central Place des Herbes. The furnishings are comfortable and chic with personal touches that make you feel at home and not in a rental property. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped for preparing the abundance of fresh and local produce found at the markets or just a coffee and morning croissant. The bedroom is charming with a very comfortable bed and lovely bed linens. Adrian and Susan are welcoming and lovely hosts. I highly recommend Chez Vous and hope to return soon for a longer stay.

Enjoyable, comfortable apartment in central Uzes. To stay in a charming, newly renovated apartment in a 16th century house in an old French town is a treat. Even the staircase going upstairs is a unique design. The apt. is very spacious with rooms+ Moreto the front and back ensuring a cross breeze in hot weather. We were very comfortable. It is centrally located. Although parking in old towns is always a problem, there is an underground parking garage nearby (you can purchase a weekly pass). Also visit the "Jardin Medieval" for history. Lots of restaurants nearby. We radiated out from Uzes to other towns nearby. We had an activity filled week here.

Charming 17th century apt with modern conveniences. This elegant apartment was centrally located in a very lively and charming village close to all amenities. Our hosts were very knowledgeable and helpful. There were many good restaurants within+ Morewalking distance, as everything is in Uzes. The town is a short drive to many interesting sights such as Le Pont du Guard, Nimes, Arles, Orange and many towns along the Mediterranean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we highly recommend it. Provence is such a lovely part of France.
